Manufacturing processes in sheet metal working

BVS covers the entire value chain of thin-sheet metal processing, from the initial blank to the fully assembled sub-assembly produced using joining techniques.

Laser cutting and punching: Laser cutting is suitable for complex contours and fine geometries. When cutting stainless steel, nitrogen is used as the cutting gas to ensure that the cut edge remains free of oxidation, which in turn is an important prerequisite for subsequent welding or coating. For geometries that recur frequently, such as perforation patterns, ventilation slats, moulded components or through-holes, we use modern punching technology.
Press braking: In press braking, sheet metal is formed to precise angles using punches and dies. Automated press brakes with angle measurement systems ensure a consistent bend position throughout the entire production run.
Welding and joining technology: In addition to TIG and MIG/MAG welding, we use both manually operated and robot-assisted laser welding. The low heat input significantly reduces component distortion and can considerably minimise the amount of straightening and post-processing work required. Where thermal stress is undesirable, we use clinching, press-fit fasteners or rivets.
Surface treatment and corrosion protection: We offer tailored surface treatment processes to meet both functional and aesthetic requirements. These include, amongst others, powder coating, galvanising, pickling, blasting and electropolishing. The choice depends on the specific requirements regarding corrosion protection, cleaning, electrical conductivity and design.
Assembly and ESD assembly: On request, the manufacturing process does not end with the individual sheet metal part. We assemble components into sub-assemblies and, depending on the product, carry out further assembly steps right through to the fully assembled end product. ESD-compliant workstations are available for electrostatically sensitive components. This means that electronic and electromechanical components can also be integrated into the sub-assembly under appropriately controlled conditions.

Industry solutions in the Greater Stuttgart area

Different industrial sectors have specific requirements in terms of materials, tolerances and finishing.

In medical technology, hygiene and the functional safety of surfaces are paramount. All cut edges and bent edges are systematically deburred and chamfered. To completely remove temper colours after welding or to restore corrosion resistance, pickling or blasting processes are used, depending on the specific requirements. Subsequent electropolishing smooths the surface at the micro-level to achieve maximum lustre.

When it comes to IT and electronic enclosures, the key factors are the electrical and structural design details. Before powder coating, contact surfaces for earthing tabs and EMC shielding are carefully masked off to ensure that electrical conductivity within the enclosure is reliably maintained.

In mechanical and plant engineering, the main focus is on the mechanical strength of the components and reliable corrosion protection through galvanising or powder coating.

Your manufacturing partner in the Stuttgart area

The proximity of BVS’s Böblingen site to the Stuttgart economic region shortens travel times for technical coordination and sample inspections. Framework agreements with predefined stock buffers ensure high delivery reliability during series production, reliably balancing out short-term fluctuations in call-off volumes.

Quality requirements are safeguarded throughout the entire process: first-piece and final-piece inspections on measuring machines, as well as strict batch separation of raw materials, guarantee fully documented production from the prototype phase right through to high-volume production.

Frequently asked questions about sheet metal working in Stuttgart

How does a technical feasibility study work at BVS?

Once the CAD data has been submitted, our colleagues check the geometries for manufacturability, bend radii, tool accessibility and material behaviour. Where necessary, we suggest specific optimisations to reduce manufacturing costs.

What sheet thicknesses and materials does BVS Blechtechnik process?

The focus is on thin sheet metal up to approximately 3.0 mm. We process stainless steel, aluminium, unalloyed and galvanised steels, as well as copper and brass.

What advantages does the Böblingen location offer to companies based in Stuttgart?

Short transport routes, personalised support throughout the project, rapid sample approvals and a high degree of flexibility when launching series production.

Does BVS also deliver outside Böblingen and Stuttgart?

Yes. Through our sites in Böblingen and Schwerin, we supply customers throughout Germany and internationally. Thanks to flexible logistics and buffer stock systems, we ensure on-time deliveries even over longer distances.

Which file formats can be submitted for the preparation of a quotation?

CAD data such as STEP, DXF or DWG files enable a particularly rapid technical assessment.

Does BVS also carry out sub-assembly work?

Yes. As well as sheet metal fabrication, BVS assembles complete sub-assemblies, including fasteners and mechanical components.

What surface treatments are available?

Depending on the requirements, powder coating, galvanising, pickling, blasting or electropolishing may be used.

Does BVS manufacture prototypes and small production runs?

Yes. As well as production runs, we also manufacture prototypes, sample parts and pre-production runs.
